As you probably noticed yesterday, Kansas State was picked to finish sixth in the preseason Big 12 football poll. That wasn’t the least bit surprising. But the Wildcats also received two first-place votes. That turned some heads.
Two of the 52 media members that voted in the poll (about 4 percent) think K-State will win the conference this season. Only preseason favorite Oklahoma received more first-place votes. That’s interesting.
The Big 12 seems wide open this year, even if OU is the obvious favorite, and the league’s preseason poll helps push that narrative. You could make a case for just about any team from No.
